A brief note of introduction to basic data analysis and plotting tasks has been added
to Lectures. A static web page can be viewed
here,
but a better way is to save (right-click on) this
jupyter notebook, open a terminal
window in the directory where you save it, run the command jupyter notebook, and
open the notebook this way.

If you want to make use of xournal, look here, available for Linux and Wind**s.

You are expected to prepare your lab reports using LaTeX. It is available on all computers in
Physics labs, and online at overleaf.com.
Some useful resources for writing lab reports are here.
See a sample report in LaTeX, a physica online link, a tutorial on writing physica macros, etc.
The same sample lab report is also available as
an overleaf template (clone as your own).

Just in case you missed it: the preparation for the next lab is to:

log on to overleaf (sign up using your Brock email) and create a New Project from a template for "Brock Physics 3PXX lab report" (or use the link below on this page);

generate a script for your favourite graphics package (physica recommended) that includes both a directly entered set of data coordinates and a set of commands to generate a basic plot;

use this script to generate a vector graphics output file (SVG or EPS recommended) and upload it to the subdirectory Figures in your project;

make the obvious changes: name, title, references etc. to LaTeX code to make the template into your own lab report;

record all questions that arise along the way and bring them with you on Monday.
